How to install homebrew on M1 mac

Question

I just got a new Mac, the M1 Macbook pro and I am trying to install homebrew, but every time I finish installing it, it tells me that it was not written to the path, and then when I try the advised whatever to add to the path, nothing happens and the terminal or whatever does not recognize the command at all, as if it isn't installed.

This worked perfectly fine on my old Intel mac, and there is some step or whatever - I don't know anything, and I am tired and I don't understand how to install this at all, but hte path is supposed to be different for Apple silicon macs but nothing i read helps at all.

Answer 1

Homebrew installation on apple silicon, step by step:

• Open a terminal window (it should be zsh)
• Run this command:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

In my case, installation show me errors, I just installed again, and then show: Installation successful!, and warning: /opt/homebrew/bin is not in your PATH

• Then create .zshrc on home directory (If it was not created yet). Just run on terminal:

touch ~/.zshrc

• Then open it to edit with TextEdit (Is a hidden file. You can show hidden files with shift + command + . )

• Add this line at the end of .zshrc

export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH

• Run this command in terminal to make this available:

source ~/.zshrc

• Now just run this command to be sure that everything is working:

brew help

This works for me to path homebrew permanently.

Or do:

- Add Homebrew to your PATH in ~/.zprofile:
    echo 'eval $(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)' >> ~/.zprofile
    eval $(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)

Answer 2

Seems Touch, source and export not required now. Run the below command in terminal

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

and follow the instructions showing in terminal itself. shows as follows:

==> Next steps:
 Run these two commands in your terminal to add Homebrew to your PATH:

    echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> /Users/xxx/.zprofile
    eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

Then, brew help
